December 11, 2006CommFort 3 release
New, fully updated version of CommFort now available!
The major add-ons in this new version are the bulletin board service and the extended management capabilities. In addition, the operating protocol has been completely renewed. Thanks to the new optimizations, the network load has significantly dropped, leading to improved stability and the increase of the maximum number of client users to 4,000. There is also added support for NAT technology and terminal clients. Users can now connect to several ports concurrently and enjoy the new user interface, which is far more convenient. The new user profile form now not only allows the inclusion of all your information but also the addition of your photograph. The program’s interface can now be customized with even greater flexibility as it now supports skins, while Smilies are now animated. We have comprehensively reworked the program’s help system and added detailed descriptions of all nuances that may occur while using the program. The new version will bring your home or corporate network communications to a brand new level!
To make the transition to CommFort 3 easier, you can work with both CommFort 1 and CommFort 2.
Registered users with licenses for older versions of CommFort will receive the new license absolutely free.
